Combat Rusty Bumgardner 98 Anti Virus Reloaded Slowpitch Softball Bat

WAS $299

The Anti Virus was one of the best slowpitch bats that Combat ever produced, and now its back! It's big and aggressive, just like Rusty Bumgardner - so if your not ready for action you better step aside. Don't be afraid though, just like Rusty, this bat has a real sweet side as well - the incredible feel of the original Anti Virus is back, with a vengeance, and soon ball players everywhere are going to be reminded why Combat has grown so quickly into a leader in Diamond Sports!

Team Combat is continually pushing the envelope with their innovative technologies. Combat's innovative and highly proprietary industry-leading composite bat technologies are the combination of the industry's most precise tolerances, and the optimal blending of fibers resulting in maximum allowable bat performance. For Players, By Players.

Pros: I just started using this bat about a month ago & the ball simply jumps off this bat. Even what I think are mis-hits have incredible distance on them. My entire team loves this bat & I might have to invest in another one before they're all gone.

Pros: Has such a good feel to it, nicely wrapped handle and hits nice liners.

Cons: This bat was said to be hot out of the wrapper. It isn't however it is a good bat! We are 100 hits in and its finally coming alive. It's not my first bat and I know that around 200-300 hits it will be a screamer!

Pros: I just purchased the 28oz balanced. Used it for the first time in a game last night, had a double header. Great feel, nice grip. Im not a home run hitter, but I was smoking hard liners all night. It got stronger by the second game. Cant wait for it to be broken in.

Pros: Let me start off by saying I am not a power hitter and never have hit a homerun in my life (I've hit the ball to the fence once)I purchased the endloaded 26oz and this bat has a lot of pop straight out of the wrapper! I did a half swing, hit the sweet spot of the bat and it went deep in the outfield during batting practice. Later that night during the game, there were a couple of warning track shots and some hard line drives.

Cons: It's a little stiff for me. I have a Demarini F4 which is a two piece bat and it has plenty of flex (which I like)With this bat, you really need to hit the ball on the sweet spot in order to get that "pop" and velocity. It reall helps that this is a multi-wall bat that gives the "trampoline" effect! Maybe it'll grow on me more as it breaks in.

Pros: Talked my friend into buying this bat since I already have the Combat Gear98. Right out of the wrapper everyone person on the team that hit with the bat was having the ball go further and come off hotter on each swing. The team was really impressed.

Pros: Solid bat. Pretty hot right out of the wrapper, but once you break it in, you're set! I have the heavy 34 oz balanced and it has a lot of pop even with the nerf-like softballs they use in my ASA league!
